The strategy has the trappings of a political campaign, complete with data crunching to identify groups that can be won over. The focus is a group health officials term the "movable middle" -- some 55 million unvaccinated adults see...

The rainforest's first major fire of 2021 occurred more than a week earlier than last year, acco...

A coronavirus variant first spotted in India is poised to become the dominant one in the United States, where infectious disease modelers say it could cause a "resurgence" of Covid-19 later this year.

Some states are making great strides in vaccinating their residents against Covid-19, but the ones that are not may soon be contending with a more transmissible variant, experts say.

But some states -- such as Alabama, Arkans...

Some people who already had COVID-19 are hesitant to get the vaccine, as many believe their natural antibodies are enough protection, but those who never tested positive for the virus are even more resistant to being inoculated.

Without knowing if a person actually had COVID-19, there's no way for health officials to accurately calculate ...
